Antonio Lanzillo revolutionizes seating with sello
‘Chair + Stool?’ This simple question, scribbled down as a flash of intuition by designer Antonio Lanzillo, led to a revolution in furniture. The result is the Las Mobili Sello, which boldly merges the functions of a chair and a stool into a single, typologically innovative piece. Sello redefines the very act of sitting, offering a creative and forward-thinking response to the evolving needs of contemporary design.
ideal for outdoor cafés and bars, sello reduces the need for multiple seats, pairing with low tables on one side and high counters on the other
A single gesture, infinite possibilities – that’s the essence of Las Mobili‘s Sello, created by Antonio Lanzillo & Partners. Designed to adapt to diverse postures and users, Sello functions as a chair, a stool, or a perch seat. Its form encourages interaction, and its lightweight, portable structure makes it an ideal fit for dynamic environments. The addition of a built-in hook provides a practical touch, allowing users to conveniently hang bags or backpacks. This unexpected fusion of comfort and function elevates the design beyond a simple product.

las mobili’s sello revels in dual soul and function
Crafted from welded, galvanized, and powder-coated metal rod, Sello is a testament to sustainable and minimalist design. Its production optimizes material and energy use compared to creating two separate seating products. With its elegant and modern structure, the seat seamlessly integrates into a wide range of public and private spaces, from offices and common areas to bars, restaurants, and homes. The name itself, a clever fusion of the Italian words se-dia (chair) and sgabe-llo (stool), perfectly captures the product’s dual soul and unique identity, making it the ideal choice wherever flexibility, functionality, and style are paramount.
